Despite getting outclassed by Ricardo Lamas in the co-main event of the evening (recap), Diego Sanchez walked away with one of the biggest payouts of the night from the sports apparel brand, as "The Dream" will be cashing in a $20,000 sponsorship check to soften the blow of defeat.

Scott Jorgensen took home the other $20,000 paycheck after coming up short against Alejandro Perez (recap).

As for the headliners of the evening, Kelvin Gastelum took home a $5,000 check in defeat while a victorious Neil Magny walked away with an extra $10,000 for his bank account.

So, how are payouts determined?

According to the revamped payout structure (see it), the more fights you have combined with UFC and the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce promotions, the more coin you have for your combat sports piggy bank.

And the less fights you have under the ZUFFA banner... well, the less you get. If you have a problem with the structure, take it up with UFC, not Reebok.

According to the report, fighters will also receive royalty and payments up to 20-30 percent of any UFC-related merchandise sold that bears his or her likeness. That's a great way for the Internet "morons" to help the cause.
